For your first case, I recommend something a little larger - more room is nice. A removable motherboard tray is kind of convenient, as well.

Electrical tape works too
Just put it on top of the screw heads.
I think it's worth it to spend a little more on a case. I went the bargain route when building my desktop, and I wish I hadn't. Next time I'm getting a Lian Li case (so pretty).
